Welcome to AMBIENTOUD.COM.As a multi-instrumentalist and composer I have sought out sounds with singularity and emotion.The Middle Eastern Oud has fulfilled a musical search that has become a primary source of inspiration and focus. This site is dedicated to this exploration and my work with this unique instrument. By exploring it's electro-acoustic possibilities by way of real-time electronics, effects and ambient distress, my hope is to breath new life into the oud while respecting its traditional foundation and character. Thank you for your support and interest in my music.

Knossos is a musical vehicle for my compositions with Near Eastern Strings and electronics.This project, although heavily reliant on beats and rhythmic texture, is equally tempered with an experimental approach to sound - employing abstract passages and ambient philosophy into engaging song structures. My music with Knossos seeks to push traditional sounds beyond traditional limits.
